029 Why do people change?
The last time Li Ruolian had insomnia was the night he first arrested someone. But although it was already the second watch when he returned to his house from the four seas, he couldn't sleep for the first time.
I got up, walked to the yard, reached out and pressed against the wall, and just like that.
Sure enough, his neighbor does not accept hundreds of households Dong Chaopu at night, and now the head of the Jinyi Wei Secret Guard Sect is also sitting alone under the pomegranate tree in the yard drinking.
"I've seen Tongzhi." Dong Chaopu hurriedly got up and saluted, but Li Ruolian didn't care, so he greeted him and sat down. He was also born as a small soldier, but he didn't know how to fall into the emperor's blue eyes, and now he doesn't have that bureaucratic atmosphere.
He has been a neighbor for a while, and he also knows the problems of these two, and he can't sleep in the dead of night at night, and he can barely squint at dawn by drinking some wine. According to Lao Dong, this is all a problem that fell on the battlefield. It is often necessary to go deep into the enemy's rear in groups of two or three people at night, and at night even if you are sleepy, you can only squint your eyes.
Although Dong Chaopu is only a hundred households, he is also a person in the emperor's heart. At the same time, as a Jinyiwei, it is impossible to have any outside friends, and Li Ruolian also treats him as a colleague.
There is a plate of pickled fish on the side of the pomegranate tree flower bed, which is a snack dish, Li Ruolian is not particular, he stretched out his finger and pulled a piece, saying that the pickled fish is more like air-dried, without a little saltiness. I poured a mouthful of inferior barley into it, although it choked, it was also energetic.
Dong Chaopu didn't even eat the snacks, he just picked up a rusty iron nail placed on the edge of the pickled fish, and licked it as a wine.
Li Ruolian pointed at him:
"You are also a decent brocade guard, Your Majesty also added a single money to you with a protégé, why are you still picking the door like this."
Dong Chaopu didn't care:
"I'm used to hard times. To tell you the truth, I also ate a restaurant with Liu Zhongli after receiving the money for the first time, and I felt distressed for several days after I came back. ”
Dong Chaopu is older, about a teenager than Liu Zhongli, and he can be regarded as Liu Zhongli's half master in the army. "People say that there is only suffering that cannot be endured, and there is no happiness that cannot be enjoyed. Let's not do this, the little princess Wuniang also sent a blanket from the emperor, guess what? We ran to the well and took a shower for an hour, and we didn't sleep all night. Later, the old man thought that there was no such blessing. ”
"Hahaha~~", Li Ruolian laughed and thought about his sword and gun master Zhang Shutian, when he first met his master, the master didn't dare to leave him at home to eat. The young man is also from a martial arts background, and he has a large amount of food. Several times I met for dinner, the master tactfully sent him away. I don't know what happened to the two sons in Master's family now.
Dong Chaopu didn't bother him, and the two of them just thought about their own things.
When it was almost time, Liu Zhongli also came back, and also met with the chief, sat down and drank.
"Today's fifty rabbit cubs are okay, catch thirty-one, and I'll hand them over to you tomorrow morning." Now the two of them are regarded as the leaders of the newly established secret guard, and from scratch they have taken more than a hundred and a half young men selected from Wang Gongchang and the orphans of the Jingshi army to practice lurking, assault and assassination.
"Alright, don't toss too late in the evening. There's the Master's class tomorrow morning. According to Zhu Youzhen's arrangement, these boys not only have to learn the skills of the army, but also learn to read and write. When you get to the official school, you can put it in as a niche category.
"Something uncomfortable?"
Dong Chaopu was old, and he didn't ask when he looked at Li Ruolian. However, Liu Zhongli was younger, and looked at Li Ruolian, who was frowning, and asked directly.
"It's easy to kill the enemy, but it's hard to kill your own people." Li Ruolian did not hide it.
Yes, Liu Zhongli just wanted to slap himself in the face, and he didn't want to ask. This sentence hit Dong Chaopu's heart accurately.
"Alas~~~" Sure enough, Dong Chaopu, who heard this, let out a long sigh.
The reason why Dong Chaopu and Liu Zhongli suffered so many injuries was also due to their own people.
At that time, there was a new young man in his early twenties in their team, who had a very sweet mouth and respected Dong Chaopu as an old father. After a long time, Dong Chaopu regarded him as his son. Dong Chaopu didn't pursue anything, so he gave up his military exploits to his godson again and again.
What he didn't know was that this kid fell into Houjin's hands for the first time when he went out alone. Then he simply lowered the gold man. On the one hand, he was on an errand in Zunhuawei, and on the other hand, he was collecting the money of Houjin.
Once Zunhuawei got the itinerary that Prince Jin Shuorui camped not far away, and decided to fight at night without collecting thousands of households.
If it weren't for the night before he arrived at the assembly site, he said a few words about Houjin in his sleep while sleeping, and almost a hundred people would have been brought into Houjin's ambush.
Liu Zhongli will never forget that night, how the kid who had fled back to the Houjin Army insulted Dong Chaopu, who really regarded him as his son, with what vicious language, and he couldn't forget the ugliness of that kid kneeling down and licking other people's shoes, let alone killing the uncle who had treated him as his own nephew one by one.
The last Dong Chaopu and Liu Zhongli are actually just begging for death.
They took the initiative to take on the role of atonement for the whole night and retreated the rearguard. It wasn't until the armies of the two sides began to confront each other that the confrontation between the spies and the spies ended.
One hundred and thirty people did not collect the night, and twenty-nine returned, most of them died under the feather arrows of Houjin, and more than a dozen of them were still engraved with the name of Zunhua Ye Buhui, and they naturally knew who shot it.
The three big men drank it like this.
Strange to say, it seems that after people talk about their own burdens and burdens, they will no longer become their own burdens and burdens. And Li Ruolian listened to Dong Chaopu's story, and wondered why he had the idea of ventilating his sword and gun master, did he want to escape to live in Houjin one day?
Even if you could, you have to shoot feather arrows at these people around you?
As soon as he thought of this, Li Ruolian blushed a little for his performance yesterday. Fortunately, no one saw it on the road in the early morning.
Li Ruolian, who washed back into the yard and washed his face with cold well water, and ate a bowl of hot haggis soup by the alley, seemed to have been reborn.
He took out the roster that he had been holding all night from his bosom and handed it to his own brocade guard.
"I've read it, and all the people on it will check it again, and arrange for someone to keep an eye on it until I die or go back to prison. Arrange for someone to prepare the paperwork, and I will report it to the emperor two days later. ”
He looked at his brocade guard yamen, although it was much smaller than the original yamen, and there were many fewer people, but there was no stealing children and selling the miscellaneous pieces of ancestors.
